South Dakota Reporting Specifics

South Dakota generally enforces a 3-year dormancy period for most banking and investment properties, including savings accounts, checking accounts, certificates of deposit, and securities. This 3-year standard also applies to safe deposit box contents and life insurance proceeds.

However, holders must be attentive to accelerated timelines for specific obligations. Wages, utility deposits, and property resulting from business dissolution become reportable after just 1 year. Conversely, travelers checks have a longer dormancy period of 15 years.

South Dakota has a very low aggregate limit of under $10. This effectively requires holders to provide detailed owner information for the vast majority of reportable items to facilitate reunification.
